  • Art in Context - Links to artists, art galleries, art dealers and museums.

  • Artcyclopedia - Artcyclopedia is a new resource promising to become a definitive guide to museum-quality art on the web. Search by artist or museum. Different topics are featured monthly.
  • ArtLex: Dictionary of Visual Art - ArtLex is a browseable collection of terms and definitions, often accompanied by images, graphics and links to museum sites. One can search for words or find longer articles about specific topics such as Expressionism or paper. Artists' names are not included within ArtLex's terms and definitions, but art styles and movements are, so you can find Cezanne and four examples of his work under "watercolor," for instance, and other examples of his work under other categories. Students and teachers will find ArtLex particularly helpful.
  • ArtSource - Includes links to both art and architecture resources such as bibliographies, art programs, art libraries, artists’ projects and art journals online. This site is selective, rather than comprehensive.
  • Catholic Online Saints & Angels - Throughout history artists have depicted saints and angles, but who exactly was St. Justin? In the Middle Ages, when much of the populace could not read, religious art was used to tell the stories of the Church. Conversely, today many people know how to read words but have no idea how to "read" religious painting. This online resource is a must for anyone looking at religious art.

The collections contain over 64,000 titles, as well as 121,000 microforms of rare and hard-to-find materials.
